The really nasty thing about this is that it is a transparent attempt to cast George Allen as a redneck native Southerner and fool voters. He is anything but that. He grew up in Southern California and his dad was a football coach, giving him exposure to all kinds of people at an early age. His mother was European and grew up in Africa. It's totally ridiculous to suggest that someone with this background came to the University of Virginia for racist reasons. It's ridiculous to suggest that someone with this background even knew the word nigger, much less used it. But too many gullible voters don't know this and won't bother to learn it. They just see "Virginia - football player - all-white Southern college in the early 1970s" and it seems perfectly believable. Especially when you add in the fact that Allen did once have a -- horrors! -- Confederate flag in his office.

And have no doubt, this smear will all be used in whisper campaigns in the black communities in Hampton, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Richmond. It will be printed up on flyers that will be quietly passed out in the black churches. Democrats have been doing stuff like this for years -- Create a false racial slur and then campaign in the black communities as though it were the truth, because we all know how dumb those black folks are and they will believe anything we tell them. Now you tell me, who is the real racist here?

I have a relative with family in the Jewish community in Norfolk, and he tells me the Democrtas are already running around there telling people that Allen knew he was a Jew and deliberately hid it for years because he was ashamed of it and din't want to lose the votes of all those rednecks in rural Virginia. This campaign has really sunk to new lows even for the Democrats.

Interestingly enough, here on the Eastern Shore the Democrats, at least the ones I know, are incensed by the Webb campaign.......none of them plan on voting for Webb, some have said they will vote for Allen, others have said they will just skip that race when they vote.
